Notes
For the stovetop: In a sauce pan, toss the diced apples with the lemon juice. In a bowl, whisk the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, salt, water together. Pour into the sauce pan and stir with the apples. Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes or until fork tender. Remove about 1/2 cup of liquid from the pot and whisk in 1/4 cup of cornstarch. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pot with the apples. Stir and cook until the sauce has thickened.
